I spend a lot of my life trying to maximizing what the guy refers to in the article as "the madness", the crazy obsessive phase that comes with a new idea. I am desperate to grasp that productivity... Unfortunately, he doesn't offer any re

The first paragraphs sums up what I think on the matter. If you are at home... nobody is depending on you... It's easy to "drift". If somebody is there to say "Hey, did you finish X?" - that can be enough to get you to remember what you we

Is it legal? Was my first question. Around where I lived you had to be at least 16 (maybe 14?) and there were restrictions on hours and the like (so you had enough time for school). But then hiring a kid to mow your lawn was never anything

Before I met her, I had a cofounder that didn't work out. It really cost me. In essence, he was to do the front end, and me the backend. He didn't deliver anything of substance. It took me several months(which is millenia in startup la

As my story goes, I met someone about 6 months into my year-long startup experiment. As luck would have it, she had relevant skills... and she did help a lot with my startup, but not on the level of a co-founder. She isn't that interested

That fifth item, like the post originally mentioning as something that dooms startups, gets me every time. Having a solid co-founder seems to be the hardest part, and honestly, it helps with all the others. It helps you be more flexible si

I would think more intelligent people would tend to be wealthier, and wealthier people can consume more alcohol. I realize there are plenty of broke alcoholics - but leaving out chronic alcoholics, I think you're more likely to have a bott

I was going to give some other advice, but, given that you have a year of runway, AND partners, AND revenue... what are you waiting for? Seriously? Do you have children and/or others who really depend on your income? My other thoughts: It

I had a similar history. My startup was beset by the fact that 90%+ of the time I was alone. I was the only one doing the coding... and to be honest, it got hard to stay focused. Working with someone, especially who is depending on me, I

I have to agree - the first thing I did on the site was to try to figure out where the data was from. But I can't find it anywhere (or even an "about" button that explains it). I assumed it was foursquare (same principle as wheretheladie

As for 1, the whole article is arguing a case where that is not true. They are illustrating a case where Mary's $130 is not worth much of anything: it doesn't pay half of her $250 liability and get her out of half of the downside. It's

Maxim is 95% advertising, either direct or indirect; most of the articles/columns/etc are about things you should buy. Throw in a few pictures of a scantily clad woman, and a badly written sex advice column, and that's all it is. As anoth

I'm chronically late. It's a problem. I'm working on it. However I notice the poster talks about 9AM meetings. In every company I've worked for, there are people who have a habit of scheduling meetings at the very beginning of the workin

While carb overconsumption is all-around bad for you, the brain needs glucose more than just about any other organ. Neurologic symptoms are often the first signs of hypoglycemia, and the brain's functional ability falls rapidly with glucos

I don't know about your weight/diet, but if I wake up hungry, it's because I really skimped on dinner. Maybe your meal isn't big enough? When I used to wake up early, the general reason was because of medication I was taking - ironically t

In summary: you need partners. Good ones. I failed to find any, and, like your first attempt, my startup burned out. Working by yourself is just dangerous - even if you're entirely self-motivated (I'm not), you can only have so much persp
